Integral Yoga Studio is a contemporary wellness space in the heart of Kyiv, designed to cultivate harmony between body and mind. The name “Integral” comes from the Latin word for “holistic” perfectly capturing the studio’s essence—a balance of natural materials, minimalism, and tactile sensations.

The studio's new location, designed by the creative duo ater.architects, is smoothly integrated with G.Bar. Its design reimagines the conventional aesthetics of yoga studios, embracing fluid lines, organic textures, and the brand’s signature soft lilac accent. Light and form come together to create an atmosphere of comfort, tranquility, and serenity.

Entrance Area. The first thing that catches guests' attention is an organically shaped mirror framed in a bold, vibrant hue. Set against soft drapery and ambient lighting, it not only reflects but also immerses visitors in the studio’s serene atmosphere.​​​​​​​

Reception & Waiting Area. A blend of soft tones and fluid, organic shapes creates a welcoming atmosphere, inviting visitors to explore the space and discover its playful details and textures. The stainless steel reception desk and metal wall sconces reflect warm light, adding depth and a sense of intimacy. Adjacent to the reception, the retail area features curved shelves seamlessly integrated into the walls, drawing attention to the brand’s vibrant products. ​​​​​​​

The waiting area is thoughtfully composed of a small textured sofa with a bolster pillow and a striking purple accent table. A natural jute rug and a sculptural floor lamp complete the setting, tying the elements together through curvilinear forms. Heavy linen curtains softly enclose the space, leading guests toward the changing area.

Changing Room & Showers.​​​​​​​ The catchy wooden volume serves as a private functional changing area, seamlessly integrating into the studio’s airy, light-filled interior. Inside, every detail is designed with visitor comfort in mind: soft lavender lockers for personal belongings, a countertop sink with dedicated storage for hygiene essentials, and a large, organically shaped mirror.

The showers, clad in fine natural mosaic, introduce a rich visual accent to the compact area. Dynamic curvilinear elements echo throughout the space, reinforcing the studio’s cohesive aesthetic.

Yoga Hall. A minimalist space, defined by soft lines and fluid forms, invites a sense of tranquility—free from distractions. The hall, wrapped in warm sandy tones, contrasts with a deep black ceiling, creating an immersive atmosphere that encourages focus and presence. Mirrored walls expand the perception of space, while an adjustable lighting system transforms the ambiance—from complete darkness for meditation to dynamic color scenarios that energize movement.

At the heart of the studio’s design lies an organic geometry. Rounded corners soften the perception of space, while fluid, curvilinear shapes give furniture and details a distinctive sense of movement. The result is a space that balances minimalism with quiet playfulness, inviting guests to feel both grounded and inspired.
